vOklahoma, have invented Certain new aud useful Imiirovements 1n Latriue-lnoinoras Be it known that I, Josemi fCimLnr, voilizen of the United States, residing alV Ana darko, 1n the county oi' Caddo and Huil-o ol tors, of which tho following is a souoilii'arion.

My invention relates lo ceri-ain new uml useful improvements in 'latrine neinoraors and the object of niy invention to provide a device of this character which is simple. in construction and at the saine time has die hivhest eflioiency.

With these objects in vien my invention oonsists in certain constructions, combinaH -tions and arrangements of parts the preferred form of which will be described t inconneotion with the accompallying,r dran@ ings and then the invention pointed out in the claims, i

Referring to the drawings wherein l show the preferred form of m linvention and wherein the same part is esignated by tho same reference numeral wherever it occurs: Figure l is a top plan View, the stack being shown in section yFig. 2 is a vertical section taken on line 2-2 of Fig. 1; Fig. 3 is a vvertical section of Fig. 2 taken'on line 3--3 and looking the direction of tho arrows; Fig. 4 is a vertical section ofl'ig. 2 taken on line 4 4 and looking in the direction oi the arrows; Fig. :Sis-a. horizontal section of. Fig. 2 taken on line 5 5 and looking' in the 'direction of the arrows, and Fig. G is a detail. Setional View of one of the. valves.

' ysriptioniof all.

4,5 4are Ifour larin'es arranged around the four sides of the' furnace and conneoted thereto by means of the pipes 6 which forni Hues from the latrines -to the central s tack. These latrines are, es shown, similarly constructed, so that a'descljiption of one is a de- 'n-7v are the side Wells of the iatrine S .the front Wall und 9th@ back Wall.

The purpose of this pij e is to carry the vapors and gases generated inthe upper portion of the chamber doivn Where they Will come 1n lintimate contact. with the tire as Will he:

hereinafter desefibed.

Mounted upon the upper portion of the rear Wall 9 isV a tank 30, the tank being sew cured to the wall by the bolts 31, as shown7 and the tank further supported by the 1brackets 32. Each side oit the tank provided with a cover 323 hinged to a support 3l extending centrally across the top oit the tank. Preferably, and as shown, l provide means whereby these covers may he opened by the person desiring to use the saine by pressing his. foot on a convenient treadle. as shown7 and this means consists ot a lever 3st pivoted intermediate oft its ends at l5 to the side of the tank. The outer end olix the lever is slotted at St? and is a pin carried by the cover il?) and entering the Islot ist?.

3S is an arm connected at one end tothe inner end oli' the lever 34 by the pivot. 3S). 'This arm passes through the slot t0 in the depending bracket 41 and at its lower end terminates in the toot pedal The upper edge of the arm is preferably formed with teeth 4?) adapted to engage the upper end oi the slot Ll being yieldingly held in such engagement by the leall spring Ll1 also carried by the bracket l1. ltrom this construction it will be seen that when it is de-` Isire-d to raise a cover e.) its Ytoot, pedal 4t2 is depressed and this raises the cover to the position shown in dotted lines in Fig. d. By pressing the arm 38 inward the teeth L13 are disengaged -vwhen the cover can be readily lowered.

is a vznve of any ordinary construction `and has extending from it a pipe which extends from the valve and through the Wall ot the tank and the adjacent rear Walt 9 ofthe incinerator, the end of the pipe being' so located as to discharge into one of the pans 17, whereby when it is desired to evaporate the liquid in the tanks the valves may be opened to dran' ott thev contents of the tanks and deliver them to the pans Where the liquid will be evaporated. y

f4.7 are troughs secured to the inner side otl the side walls 7 above the pans 17, and beneath the front of the openings 13 these troughs are inclined toward the rear to carry the liquid caught by them and deliver the same to the pans 4S located in the rear of the tire space on the bottom.

The pans 17, as best shown in Fig. 5, are provided on one side with the projecting lugs 4:9, the lugs on one of the pans being adapted to engage the adjacent edge of the other pau. rihe lugs on the otheripan are adapted to engage a projecting ledge on the side ivall 7. @n the other side ivall 7 1 provide the projecting lugs 51, with the 'be the @eases under side of which the adjacent'. edge' of the pan engages. By this construct-ion it will be seen that the pans are held in the position shown7 but that they may be rotated in order to turn them over to dump their contents onto the tire below.

1n the operation of'rny construction a small tire is kept constantly in the central furnace, so as to constantly keep a draft in the stacks 3 and also to oxidize and deodorize the gases and fumes which are given ott' by the matter in the latrines. When the pans 17 have become sutheiently tilted with solid matter and the tanks 30 and the pains i8 lilled ivith liquid, tires are builtJ in the latrines. This evaporates the moisture in the solid matter contained in the pans 17 and also evaporates the liquid in the pans 48. The fumes and vapors lgiven ott pass through the pipes 29 and are delivered in front and just over the tire, so that the fumes and vapors are completely oxidized and deodon ized. The draft through the tlues (3 is eon trolled hy the dempers 52. Vilhen the solid matter in the pans 17 has been evaporated to dryness a Wrench is put on the squared ends Q1 of the journals and the pans turned bottom side up dumping the solid matter remaining in the pans into the tire where itcompletely consumed. The pans are then turned back to their normal position and the liquid in the tanks 30 let into the pans by means of the valves 45. This liquid is evapora ted and after this has been completed the pans can again be turned over and their interior exposed to the direct action of the llames in order to thoroughly clean there. After the above described operations have been completed the tires in the latrines are allowed to burn out or they may be Withdrawn and as soon as the apparatus has cooled sutlieiently it again ready for use.

While l have described what 1 believe to preferred form ot' my invention7 desire to have it understood thatJ many changes may be made in the form, construetion and arrangements ot' parts Without deiarting' 'from the spirit thereof. v

Vfhat l claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent. is:

1. ln a lati-ine ineinerator the combina tion iv'th a central stack having a combustion chamber formed in the lower portion thereof, ot a series of latrines arranged around the stack7 each comprising a. Casing, pans mounted in the casing end separating the same into two portions, a pipe having@- its ends extending through the casing and connecting the upper and lower chambers, a flue extending from the'lower chamber of each latrine and connecting it with the stack, a tank supported over each flue outside of the casing, a valve pipe leading' from each. tank into the adjacent latrine and terminating over a pan, the lower compartment or" each casing below th puns forming :1 coma phumlty of the seats with its lower end bustion chamber. A l beyond the end of the pan, und a receptacle 2. In a, latrine llcinortol the combinan below the pan into which the trough drains. tion with a casing, ot' a series of seat opon- In testimony whereof I aflx my signature v 5 ings in the top thereof, n pan mounted in in presence of two Witnesses.
